Ugh. I left a message board I'd been a member of for a long time over the way some people were just so mean. The final straw was a woman posting asking for hugs because her hospitalized mother had been treated badly by nurses in a hospital. Two people who identified themselves as nurses immediately posted, mocking this poor sick elderly woman and telling stories of how they drag their feet when responding to patients who are in pain, how they make fun of patients in pain, and arguing that people just need to toughen up and take the pain because they -- nurses -- did not want to deal with their whining and complaining since they had "better things to do than deal with complainers."
It takes a lot to shock me, but those comments truly did shock me because they were sooooo nasty and mean about people in pain. I mean, just how low can you go?
I can only hope these people are mean like this on the internet and not in real life. If they are this horrible in real life, well, I hope they get what's coming to them some day. I really do.
